All who were fortunate enough to meet Milford Clark knew he possessed the "gift of gab". Milford was a very social man who enjoyed joking around. He worked hard, enjoyed hunting, gardening, and helping others in any way he could... all in a way that made you laugh. He cherished his family, friends and church family.
